24. Planting a tree on your head.

You can't just come up with a list like that, anyway. You need committees
and meeja coverage and decades of arguing first... :-)

(For more serious suggestions, can I add public transport and car pooling?)

Definitely.

Every time I se a 400bhp bus with no one it it, taking up the space of 5

Never confuse busses with long haul coaches, fast, full and relatively
efficient.

Ban the Bus!
